Two of the Bekaa Valley's greatest experiences in one focused private day from Beirut — the most awe-inspiring Roman ruins on earth followed by Lebanon's oldest winery. No detours, no filler stops — just the two destinations that define the Bekaa Valley, done properly and entirely at your own pace.
Baalbek is not simply a Roman site — it is the greatest Roman construction achievement on earth. The Trilithon stones beneath the Temple of Jupiter each weigh over 800 tonnes — heavier than anything modern cranes can lift. The Temple of Bacchus, larger than the Parthenon and almost entirely intact, is the best-preserved Roman temple in the world. After the temples, the day ends at Chateau Ksara — Lebanon's oldest winery, founded by Jesuit monks in 1857 — for a guided tour through 2 kilometres of Roman cave cellars and a wine tasting.
